Free Hong Kong Fonts (FreeHKFonts) (自由香港字型)

“Hong Kong people makes Hong Kong Chinese fonts” is the slogan of FreeHKFonts.

One of our members is a social worker working in social services for seniors, he found that Chinese strokes displayed from computer fonts are sightly different than Chinese strokes on “Lexical Lists for Chinese Learning in Hong Kong” (ED Lexical List) published by Education Department. So, he starts FreeHKFonts project with a group of HK seniors, to create sets of free Hong Kong Font files in Chinese strokes used on ED Lexical List.
